Dear Santa,I'd like to return one billionaire.He's arrogant, ridiculously handsome, obscenely wealthy, and incapable of hearing the words Christmas or candy cane without making a filthy joke.Unfortunately, he's also an excellent kisser.Which is becoming a problem.It all started when a Christmas fundraiser went spectacularly wrong, I got trapped in a Mrs. Claus costume, and Weston Garland appeared at exactly the wrong moment to help with my zipper.One scandalous photograph later, Chicago thinks we're having an affair.West thinks the solution is simple: hire me to pretend to be his girlfriend until December twenty-sixth. He gets his matchmaking relatives off his back, and I get enough money to help my struggling event-planning business.There are rules, of course.Rules about appearances, boundaries, and keeping this whole ridiculous relationship strictly professional.West seems to consider every single one of them a personal challenge.Now I'm sharing Christmas with his outrageous family, sleeping far too close to the man I'm supposed to dislike, and discovering that my billionaire boyfriend is even more dangerous when he's being sweet.I signed up to pretend I wanted Weston Garland.Nobody warned me that the pretending might become the easiest part.A filthy-mouthed billionaire, a fake girlfriend with zero patience, and enough Christmas chemistry to melt the North Pole.…
